When a young Royal Engineer Officer is killed trying to defuse a bomb, he is replaced by raw officer recruit Brian Ash. Ash is shocked to discover that his new unit, the 97th Tunnelling Company, is in fact a hastily formed bomb disposal squad. With the Blitz devastating London every night and making massive demands on Royal Engineers' manpower, he is to take command of 347 Section forthwith. It's not long before he's facing the real thing at close range, with his men looking on from a safe distance, making bets as to whether he'll go the same way as his predecessor..., When a young Royal Engineer Officer is killed trying to defuse a bomb, he is replaced by raw officer recruit Brian Ash.

I was pleased with this Danger UXB Box Set as the scripts, the acting, the characters and the filming were all strong. The bomb defusing scenes created real tension. There is a lot of filming on location rather than in the studio, so the production budget must have been high. I did find that sometimes an episode didn't follow on from the previous one, as though an episode had been missed out. Maybe there were gaps between series, but this didn't detract from the enjoyment.
